Yes, this. The point is to reduce probablities of git-merge conflicts.
And if they occur, resolving merge conflict in hunk of 'include's is
much simplier than is hunk, containing non-trivial code.
I also considered using
include debian/config/*.mk
but decided against it, because it is likely to cause delete/modify
conflicts.
